A little bit messy but a whole lot of fun! Dupo High School students made oobleck during Power Hour.
A group of from Mrs. Dougherty and Mr. Grapperhaus' classes went on a walking field trip with a scavenger hunt. We went to important public buildings in town. The first stop was the library to learn how to get a library card and find out how the railroad was important to Dupo history by locating a book to give us the information. We then went to city hall and the bank to learn how to pay our city bills and how to bank within our town. We also looked at their big city map to get a big picture view of the city and learned what the city seal looked like through our scavenger hunt questions. We were even lucky enough to get the opportunity to send a tube through their system. We ended our walk with lunch at the park and a trip through the little woods on the way back to school.

Congratulations to Erin Mitchell, Dupo Jr-Sr High Staff Member of the Month!
Mr. Griffin's 9th grade students in the school orientation class had the opportunity to explore a wide range of library resources designed to support their academic success and personal interests. During the session, they were introduced to research databases that can help them find reliable information for assignments and projects. They also learned how to use the cloud-based library system to conveniently check out audiobooks, making reading more accessible and flexible for different learning styles.
In addition, students explored other available resources such as toolkits, games, and various multimedia materials that can enhance both learning and creativity. The orientation lesson helped students become more familiar with how to navigate these tools and understand the many ways the library can support them throughout the school year.
Overall, students found these resources to be extremely helpful and recognized the library as a valuable part of their high school journey, providing them with tools for academic achievement, independent learning, and personal growth.

ADULTING 101: Mr. Griffin’s Money Simulation in Action 💸
During this unit, Mr. Griffin’s Consumer Education/Personal Finance class had the opportunity to learn how to write checks and understand financial tools like money orders. In addition to these foundational skills, students participated in a hands-on simulation that brought real-life financial responsibilities into the classroom. Each student was given a checkbook register and rotated through 10 different stations, each representing common monthly expenses.
To begin, students researched their dream careers to determine their estimated annual income. From there, they worked through stations that included expenses such as eating out, cell phone bills, groceries and household supplies, miscellaneous costs, transportation and auto fees, childcare, college payments or debt, housing (rent or mortgage), and health expenses. After budgeting for all necessities, students evaluated whether they had money remaining and discussed the importance of giving back, connecting it to Dave Ramsey’s fifth foundation of donating to charity. This activity helped students better understand budgeting, financial decision-making, and the realities of managing money in everyday life.
